first off, love the outfit, those shoes are awesome! second, your to do list sounds like mine…well, plus and minus a few things. i didnt know you went to fidm, so jealous!if you need help with a new banner or design, let me know, i love doing that sorta thing (i redo mine allll the time!) and also i like doing video editing as well.oh and congrats on the awesome feature, i loved reading it! hope your week starts out great

I love your blog design! Don’t change it… As far as workig out goes, I just wrote a post how I always give up on it during the summer-it is way too hot (that’s my excuse) So I don’t think I’m the right person to be giving advices on this subject Great boots!

i like to go to classes to work out; like yoga or kickboxing or something. or i will find a partner to go running with. i find that if i am accountable to someone (even the teacher of a class), i will actually stick with it.

Hi!First I LOVE your blog, your outfits are incredible and I love that your style is simple (in a good way) and I can see myself wearing the same things.

I saw in one of your previous article that you were looking for hair color inspiration. Personally , I really love the recent hair color of Olivia Palermo. I love the fact that the color is shining so much and that there are some lighter shades without being a total ombré. I don’t don’t if I’m clear but I’m attaching some links where you can see what I’m talking about.Also I would really love to see what you look like with short hair

It sounds stupid but you will only work out constantly if you really start enjoying the feeling you get after actually working out and…well…the result when you look into the mirror. plus, if you sign a contract to go to the gym and you actually pay money for it you feel forced to go there or else it would have been a waste of the money you worked hard for haha well that´s the motivation that works out for me 😉

Awesome outfit..love the subtle makeup with it too! My work-out tip is to do it in the morning. It is much easier to stick with it if you do it first thing when you wake up..also you burn more on an empty stomach.

Work out with a girlfriend and take classes like yoga or pilates or spinning! It makes it a lot more fun so that you actually WANT to go to the gym. Going out for a celebratory drink or shopping afterward helps too. :]

Hi, Jules! I’m new to your blog. I came over from Emmadime. I love your style. And we share many of the same goals.

As for exercise, I’ve found what works for me, and I’m sticking with it, so I thought I’d share my advice. I recommend a group class such as Pilates or hip hop dance or bootcamp. I have done all three of these and found them highly successful. Being part of a group class holds you accountable – because if you skip, somebody will invariably ask you, “so… where were YOU on Wednesday, huh?” (Busted.) Currently, I do bootcamp (super-intense, butt-kicking workouts) three days a week, and I love it. I feel energized, confident and strong. Good luck! Report back with what you find works for you! xo.

I love your shoes! And I’m the exact same way. My friends all tease me about just how many lists I make. And I have multiple categories of to do lists to prepare for moving away for the summer hahalove your blog as always:)xoxoleahhttp://youngguccipurse.blogspot.com/

those boots are FIERCE. i need those! i completely understand what you are saying about needing motivation to exercise ~ lately it hasn’t been happening much for me either! maybe stick some inspiring photos on your fridge to get you going?? happy monday to you & congrats on your feature ~ it’s lovely! 😉xo ~ kristina

It’s best to work out in the morning and sometimes, I know, it’s super hard to get up and go! Sleeping with your gym clothes on helps, just leave your shoes next to your bed and now you’re all set with no excuse not to go!

How cool babe! They chose an excellent cover model…you do look super fly up close and personal 😀 I’m totally with ya on my summer to-do’s…I’ve been meaning to sign up for a photog class all year so hopefully I can find something outdoors since it’s been so beautiful this past week…I’m an avid runner so you just gotta make the time for it…Plus I bring the pups with me and make a date outta it…You gotta find a partner that’s just as committed as you…turns workout time into total playtime…almost like outfit posts 😀

Love the idea of changing the hair – we change our clothes depending on the season so why not the hair? we are in Winter here in New Zealand, so I am going from ombre dark blond, a bit like yours, to bright RED like Taylor Tomasi Hill…. cant wait! good luck with yours!!! I think would suit red/auburn… your skin tone is perfecto!!

rocker chic with just the perfect amount of edge. Those proenza schouler boots are fabulous. And so are you. I’m obsessed with your hair! I just chopped 12 inches off, great change…but looking at your hair makes me miss my hair! Thank u for being amazing

wow, boots are amazing!! another super chic look! you don’t need to work out, especially looking at these photos! and i have been digging red hair lately, i think you would look good with red! i can’t wait to see what you will choose. hope you’re have a lovely week so far!

Ohhhh the gym… I felt the same as you. I recently got a gym membership because before I used to occasionally visit the one at school for free. Paying for a gym membership makes you want to go because otherwise its like throwing your $$ out of a window of a moving car!

When you start, try to find something that you enjoy. I personally love spinning. Most of the time the music is super fun and the group class is great because you feed off of everyone else’s energy to keep you going. It’s tough to get through the whole class but when you are done it feels so good and it’s rewarding to know you are doing your body well!

Lastly, a gym buddy makes going to the gym a million times better. You are accountable to someone, you can learn new workouts from or with them, and at least with me it never fails that working out with a buddy always makes it more fun! (My gym buddy and I recently got reprimanded to laughing to much and not working enough lol)

Sooo I guess the best way to get motivated is to find a way to make it fun!!

Hey, your hair is amazing! But change is sometimes necessary to not get bored, I totally get that. I love the boots, except I don’t like the black toe…otherwise they would be perfect! I like to take my dog for runs, because then if I don’t go I feel guilty that I’m not only denying myself exercise, but him too. Guilt always works for me haha.
